A quick finish for the last story. I commented on a note from a reader who had said that knowing serial numbers was a way for service members to tell who the Walts were. I stated that I didn’t know what that meant, but I understood the idea. Several readers wrote that a ‘Walt’ was a Walter Mitty, someone who pretends they have military service. For those curious, I am not a Walt. While I know a fair bit about the military, more than the average American, I have never served and never pretended I did. (My family would disown me. Almost all the men have served.) Many thanks.
Anyway, it’s time for a new story, Martian Vengeance. It covers the third invasion of Mars by WestHem, and features many of the characters from Martian Justice, plus some new faces. If you liked Martian Justice, you’ll love Martian Vengeance! Enjoy!
For those interested, the full story is on Bookapy. In addition, I created a combo book, pulling Martian Justice and Martian Vengeance into a single book. For the conspiracy theorists out there, no, I didn’t plan this as a way to maximize revenues. When I wrote Martian Justice my overwhelming concern was to be true to the vision and integrity of the universe created by Al Steiner. The same goes with Martian Vengeance. I didn’t even start thinking about the second book until I was halfway through publishing the first. Both stories had to be approved by Al before I could finalize them and post them. I can’t thank him enough for allowing me to add these stories to his universe and for the editing assistance he provided.
